Candleberry is a distinctive four-bedroom terraced home in Ambleside’s conservation area, converted sympathetically from the former parish church and awarded by the Civic Trust. Arranged over three floors, the property combines period character — arched windows, exposed beams and high ceilings — with practical upgrades such as gas central heating and double glazing.
The house currently operates successfully as a holiday let, generating an average gross income of about £40,000 and is sold with furnishings and forward bookings, making it immediately income-generating. It benefits from a private designated parking space, use of the shared church garden and convenient town-centre access with fell walks from the doorstep.
Practical considerations: the plot and private outdoor space are very small and garden use is largely communal; the development contributes a below-average service charge of approximately £60 per year towards grounds maintenance. Council tax is not confirmed and the property is offered chain free. Its setting in a conservation area means changes may require consent.
This will suit buyers seeking a characterful Lakeland home with proven rental performance, or owner-occupiers who value historic features, central location and low-maintenance grounds. Broadband and mobile signals are good, mains gas heating is installed, and there is no flooding risk identified.
